Ninety Six N~tional Historic Site embraces two significant historical themes. The community and village of Ninety Six were prominent in the political, economic, and social development of colonial backcountry South Carolina during the eighteenth century. Later the town played an important role in the American Revolution, first as a center of regional political dissension and later as a focal point of British hegemony in South Carolina resulting in the Siege of Ninety Six by General Nathanael Greene's command in May and June, 1781. The following combined Historic Resource Study and Historic Structure Report, discussing these themes, has been prepared in accordance with the governing task directive for Package No. 1, Ninety Six National Historic Site, South Carolina. For the most part, this study presents an integration of diverse primary data with the large amount of technical information about Ninety Six that has surfaced within the past few years. Much historical and archeological research has been accomplished since the late 1960s, and the professional dissemination of the results of those studies has benefited this project.
